Roy Hodgson has urged his England assistant Gary Neville to give up being a TV pundit and become a full time coach when he takes a decision on his career in 2016. Neville, who would be a contender to succeed Hodgson if he were to leave the England job after Euro 2016, has said that he will make a decision next year on whether to opt for the media or football management full time, recognising that he can’t keep a foot in both camps indefinitely. If Hodgson wished to retire in 2016 and the team had been successful, Neville would be a natural replacement as England manager – but Hodgson hopes that when the time comes he will opt for coaching over his media work with Sky Sports.
